TTAC After Dark: The Pinup Shots

by Jack Baruth

Published: March 3rd, 2014

Today’s article on Caroline’s transformation into a “pinup girl” was one of the most popular things we’ve run in some time. (One of the most popular things that didn’t involve automatic-transmission technology, anyway.)

For those of you who want to see more of the cars and the girls, TTAC After Dark is here to serve. None of the photos are strictly NSFW, but you might not want to sit there and look at them in the company of your boss (or your wife). Click to continue:

Pic 8028bw is the kind of photo that could have been snapped by a guy before he had to leave for Vietnam. He'd look at it every day and renew his vow that he'd get back home. "Girl next door." That's who the guys wind up marrying.

Just saw this now and really enjoyed it. I've had an interest in pin-up art since I saw some pasted inside my father's Korean War trunk. Own three Fritz Willis originals today and would like to thank the models for embracing this challenge in a fun way. However, and as always a detail man, I did notice that the stockings were stay-ups and not period correct hosiery. Maybe something for the next time.

MaintenanceCosts If only it had a hatch. The Model S is so much more practical, has similar performance in non-Plaid form, and is $20k more - and the $20k premium seems almost worth it just for the hatch.
Lorenzo I'm not surprised. They needed to drop the "four-door coupe", or as I call it, the Dove soap bar shape, and put a formal flat roof over the rear seats, to call it a sedan. The Legacy hasn't had decent back seat headroom since the 1990s, except for the wagons. Nobody wants to drive with granny in the front passenger seat!
Analoggrotto GM is probably reinventing it as their next electric.
Vatchy What is the difference between a car dealer and a drug dealer? Not much - you can end up dead using what they sell you. The real difference is that one is legal and one is not.
Theflyersfan Pros: Stick shift, turbo wagonExtra tires and wheelsBody is in decent shape (although picture shows a little rust)Interior is in decent shapeService records so can see if big $$$ is coming upCan handle brutal "roads" in Uganda, Rwanda, and Tanzania, although the spare wheels and tires will be needed. (See picture)Cons:Mileage is high Other Volvos on the site are going for less moneyAnyone's guess what an Ontario-driven in the winter vehicle looks like on the lift.Why wasn't the interior cleaned?Clear the stability control message please...Of course it needs to cross the border if it comes down here. She lowers the price a bit and this could be a diamond in the rough. It isn't brown and doesn't have a diesel, but this checks most TTAC wagon buyer boxes!
